Salaries: Siasia gives NFF ultimatum, threatens protest action
Immediate past U-23 Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has given the Nigeria Football Federation a two-week ultimatum to pay his outstanding four -month salaries while threatening to on embark on a strike action.
The 49-year-old who led Nigeria to winning bronze medal at the Rio Olympics said the NFF owes him five months’ salary arrears from the start of April to August 2016.
“I have given them a two week ultimatum to pay me or I will sit inside the NFF office in Abuja until I get paid,” Siasia told BBC Sport.
“The national team is preparing for a World Cup qualifier and to be honest my unhealthy distractions are the last thing they need right now.
“I’ve made it clear in my letter that my assistants and I should be paid the backlog owed because it’s inhuman.
“As head of our families we sacrificed everything for the country but the NFF refused to pay us – it’s not only heartless but wicked,” he said.
